WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING, EMOTIONALLY DEVASTATING, AND COMPLETELY UNHINGED CINEMATIC TWIST! Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) Full Movie Reaction & Review with Roxy Striar and Jon Maturan! Harry Potter 6 Full Movie Uncut Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects - HARRY POTTER and the Order of the Phoenix: https://youtu.be/0hTeTIEDakE - HARRY POTTER and the Goblet of Fire: https://youtu.be/D4WonyFbWX8 - HARRY POTTER Prisoner of Azkaban Reaction: https://youtu.be/EHDpdDbyjR8 - HARRY POTTER and the Sorcerer's Stone Reaction: https://youtu.be/EsyVBHr-UN0 - HARRY POTTER and the Chamber of Secrets Reaction: https://youtu.be/KmQxlzLRu34 Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ In this video review and reaction, Roxy and Jon balance the hilarious, chaotic tones of teenage love potions with the dark, suspenseful secret-agent thriller energy of Voldemort's rising shadow. We unpack the incredible performances of the legendary ensemble cast, featuring Daniel Radcliffe (The Woman in Black, Weird: The Alchemist Story) delivering an intensely mature performance as the Chosen One Harry Potter, Michael Gambon (The King's Speech, Paddington) bringing pure regal gravitas as Albus Dumbledore, and Alan Rickman (Die Hard, Love Actually) commanding the screen as the deeply mysterious Severus Snape. We also dissect the incredible, tragic character complexity of Tom Felton (Rise of the Planet of the Apes, The Flash) as a heavily conflicted Draco Malfoy, Jim Broadbent (Moulin Rouge!, Iris) as the memory-hoarding Professor Horace Slughorn, and Helena Bonham Carter (The King's Speech, Fight Club) as the chaotic Bellatrix Lestrange. Our hosts react to every single unforgettable highlight, from the beautiful cinematography of the opening Death Eater London bridge attack to the pure comedy of Ron Weasley accidentally consuming a powerful love potion intended for Harry. We breakdown the bizarrely hilarious drunken funeral scene for Aragog the giant spider, the raw intensity of Harry using the dangerous Sectumsempra curse on Draco in the bathroom, and the horrifying psychological torment of the cave sequence where Dumbledore is forced to drink the agonizing liquid to uncover Voldemort's Horcrux history. Finally, we unpack the sheer heartbreak of the Astronomy Tower betrayal where Snape casts Avada Kedavra on Dumbledore, the emotional unity of Hogwarts raising their wands against the dark mark, and the shocking final twist revealing that the locket is a total fake left by the mysterious R.A.B., so drop your thoughts in the comments below! #Harry Potter #HalfBloodPrince #DumbledoreDeath #ReelRejects #RoxyStriar #JonMaturan #SeverusSnape #DracoMalfoy #Horcrux #AvadaKedavra #HarryPotterReaction #WatchAlong #FirstTimeWatching #Nostalgia #LordOfTheRings #moviereview 0:00 Checking in.. 02:07 Harry Potter THBP Reaction 01:22:22 Harry Potter THBP Review Follow *Roxy Striar* YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWhirlGirls Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/roxystriar/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/roxystriar Follow *Jon Maturan* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonmaturan/?hl=en Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8

Roxy was under no obligation to share any part of her health journey, but I am glad she did. She seemed to not been her normal self through these reactions. Sending good vibes

The movies never did a good enough job of showing the relationship develop between Ginny and Harry, but in the books it's much more prevalent.

Snape created Sectumsempra and it is a dark slicing curse. If he wasn't there to help Draco he would've bled out in the bathroom.

A quick bit of background: the Weasley twins did not graduate, they left school in their last year (remember the crazy fireworks during the exam?). In Goblet of Fire, Harry won a bunch of money for winning the Triwizard but didn't want the money because of what it represented so he convinced the twins to take it to finance their fledgling joke business. Order of the Phoenix they kept inventing and selling to Hogwarts student and became successful. Now, they have enough product and still had money left so they opened an actual shop which you see at the beginning of this movie.

“If Snape went to Hogwarts…” is a wild statement to say in the 6th film.

6 Horcruxes + Voldemort = 7 parts of soul! Regulus and Sirius are cousins to Narcissa Malfoy, Bellatrix LeStrange and Andromeda Tonks (who are sisters). Andromeda's daughter is Nymphadora Tonks, married to Lupin and cousin to Draco.

Fun, messed up Fact: Voldemort was a half blood. His mother Merope Gaunt, was a witch from a rather...abusive household...and she was desperate for love of some sort, so she essentially used a love potion on this muggle man named Tom Riddle. After a while, she became pregnant, and overtime she became deeply in love with Tom, so she decided to stop administering the love potion to him, convincing herself that he would have fallen in love with her on his own accord. When he came to his senses, he wanted nothing to do with Merope, so he left her to go back to his parents. In the end, Merope died an hour after Tom Riddle Jr (Voldemort) was born due to complications to child birth. When Tom Riddle Jr was 16, he murdered his father and Grandparents (Tom Riddle Sr parents) and used the murder of his father to create the Ring Horcrux. Also, he Framed his Uncle Morfin for the deaths of his father, Grandfather and Grandmother. His Uncle Morfin and Grandfather Marvalo eventually died sometime in Azkaban. (Arrested for assaulting Ministry officials) If ya want a more detailed explanation, I think it's needless to say read the book or do some research, but that's the best I've got for this topic lol. 💜
